The Raintower is the ideal sprinkler for homeowners and gardeners alike. Its stand adjusts to either 41" or 72" height settings. This allows you to provide gentle rain irrigation on lawns, gardens, flowers and shrub beds without shadowing (dry spots) caused by shrubs and other obstacles. Foldout tripod is collapsible for easy storage. Lightweight design provides easy handling. Raintower connects with any standard garden hose. Wide tripod base gives Raintower stability. Rugged galvanized steel construction assures long life. The sprinkler head is elevated for fast easy adjustments Raintower can be used to deep water effeciently even in arid or desert areas because evaporation evaporation averages 15% of water applied. Raintower applies water in a uniform pattern, so you can deep water an entire area without over-watering or flooding at one end Raintower applies the water at a rate that is more easily absorbed by the soil without filling the air pockets necessary for healthy plant growth. (Note: flood irrigation saturates the soil, drives the air out and temporarily waterlogs the root zone which can inhibit growth.)
